How does this happen? I'd love to know the motivations and perspectives of people involved. Did they make a mistake? Were they confused? If so, what was their line of thought? Did they try to intentionally cause harm to innocent people? If so, what was the reason.
Also, is this a rare unusual occurrence, or does this happen 75%+ of the time you call 911?
It just seems like a situation that should not have happened the way it was described (which may or may not be accurate).
- jabr 13y agoThe police overreacted. And it sounds like one cop in particular overreacted and then triggered a cascade of nonsense. This kind of thing is not rare, but it's not common, either. It happens nightly, but it's unlikely to happen to you. A good rule of thumb is to not be anywhere near a scene that has an inbound emergency response. There will be police, and if they have nothing else to do, they might harass you for fake reasons. But it all depends on where you are going. In most places, this is not a common problem. In certain areas of larger cities, the police can be a bit over zealous.
